Peter Sutherland Graduate student Scripps Institution of Oceanography sutherlandp@ucsd.edu Research Experience Surface wave processes: effects of surface wave breaking on the transfer of energy and momentum between the atmosphere and ocean. Instrument integration and development Scientific imaging: automated scene reconstruction, stereo imagery, PIV, optical flow, feature identification and tracking. Research Interests Sensor development; creating instruments using emerging technologies to gain new insights about the ocean. Air-sea interactions; surface wave and upper ocean dynamics. Deep ocean exploration; using new tools and techniques, like autonomous craft and computer vision, study the deep ocean. Maritime Archaeology Poster: Wednesday Dec. 5, 08:00 12:00, A31C-0044, In-situ measurements of the effects of wave breaking on near-surface turbulence. In search of an interesting Post-Doc!
Dr. Chunyang Tan RESEARCH INTEREST Ocean observing instruments related to deep sea hydrothermal systems Cabled ocean observatory Deep sea hydraulic systems related to HOV or ROV RECENT RESEARCH EXPERIENCE In situ ph Calibrator for hydrothermal diffuse fluid systems. This device is now attaching to MARS ocean observatory. Affiliation University of Minnesota Phone 612 323 9352 Email tanxx241@umn.edu Address 310 Pillsbury DR SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455 Free template released by Showeet.com In situ datalogger with the size of 25*31*114mm, which containg eight channels: two high input impedance channels (10 16 Ω) for ceramic ph sensors, two low input impedance channels, two thermocouple channels and two thermistor channels. CRUISE EXPERIENCE July August 2008: WHOI KNOX18RR cruise with R/V Roger Revelle and ROV Jason II/Medea at Mid Atlantic Ridge. Nov. 12, 2012: MBARI cruise with R/V Rachel Carson and ROV Ventana (Dive #3675). Deployment of ph Calibrator on MARS seafloor observatory. EXPECTATIONS More cruise opportunities with DSV Alvin or ROV Work with scientists and engineers to develop some novel instruments Ocean engineer position in ocean research facilities
Research Focus: Petrogenesis of volcanic rocks using trace elements, radiogenic isotopes (Sr-Nd-Pb), and stable isotope (Li) Chemical and isotopic constraints on the evolution of back-arc basins (e.g., Tian et al., 2011, JGR, 116) Intra-plate magmatism of isolated volcanoes in the Pacific (e.g., Tian et al., 2011, Geochem. Geophys. Geosyst., 12) Li isotope constraints on the nature of EPR MORB mantle (e.g., Tian et al., 2012 AGU, V23B-2821, Dec. 4, 1:40-6:00pm) Future Interests: Non-traditional stable isotopic systematics (e.g., B, Mg, and Fe) of oceanic basalts Fluid origins, paths, and fluid-rock reactions at convergent margins Other interdisciplinary topics
